"For EIGHT years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikkis and Dirty Dianas are all welcome to participate." - SF WEEKLY

about the DJ
Dave Paul began his music career in 1984, starting as a mobile dj and evolving into a prominent college radio dj, club dj, and remixer in San Francisco. One of his 45 minute reel-to-reel megamixes was featured on commercial radio station KMEL. During the late 80s and early 90s his weekly radio show "Beat Box Fridays" on college radio station KCSF was instrumental in breaking many hip-hop records in the Bay Area market. Utilizing various pseudonyms Paul has produced records, created the worlds first scratch tool for digital dj's (The Ultimate Scratch CD), and remixed the classic song Cavern by Liquid Liquid (Let's Hear It For the B-Boy Remix) for the UK label Mo Wax. In 1991 he launched the now legendary publication The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine and in 1995 Paul transformed the magazine into a record label. The company was named "one of the fifteen independent labels that matter" according to Rolling Stone and the labels Return of the DJ series was ranked by Spin Magazine as #25 in their "The 90 Greatest Albums of the 90's" (Sept. 1999 issue), receiving a higher rating than Gold & Platinum albums by Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Metallica, Green Day and Fatboy Slim. Dave Paul has been featured in URB magazine, XLR8R, appeared on the front cover of Billboard, and is featured in the motion picture Scratch. Mr. Paul has dj'ed throughout the US, toured Europe and the UK, released over 90 projects on his record label and currently produces themed dj parties including the 8 year running Prince vs Michael Experience.

A few people deserve thanx and shouts for making 12/31 a great night – Anthony, Abe, Jonathan, Jamilah, Mone, Kristi, and the blond girl dressed in black (Lauren?) dancing on stage most of the night. I only had time to snap a few photos while dj’ing. If you or anyone you know took photos have them email them to me at princevsmichael@gmail.com and I’ll add them to the album. Thank you Someday Lounge and Portland.

The following night we had our first gig of the new year in San Francisco. It’s always nice to start the new year off in your hometown. Thank you to Mike and the entire staff at Madrone. Shouts to Gigi, Evol, Ankur, Mike, Jeff and a girl who I think is named Kristen who started dancing at 10pm up until the end of the night. If I forgot to name you, I apologize – post a reply and shout yourself out.
